The hottest news right now were the interviews of the pregnant lady who Redcat released and the two men who worked there. Said villain was currently settled on the couch watching. It was only four, so Matt wouldn't be home for a little while.

"Heh…" Luciana chuckled to herself. This was actually pretty entertaining. The three people she had so courteously shocked were speaking well of her. At least her manners anyway.

The interview finished. The woman was lost in thought, ignoring the television that was playing whatever, when an alarm beeped from the kitchen.

Time for her to check dinner.

It was done, so she pulled it out and set the table. That finished, she hurried to her room and quickly threw on the clothes she was wearing earlier. Matt would be home any minute! She stumbled back to the kitchen, tripping on the way. She was just starting to fill a cup with water when the door opened.

"I'm home!" Her brother called.

"I'm getting water! Go ahead and sit down." She called sweetly. She filled a second cup with water before entering the other room. Her brother was sitting at the table, his stuff trailing across the room.

"Here." She handed him a cup before sitting. He thanked her before they both began eating.

"Nee-san." He addressed her. She hummed a reply, her mouth full. "Am I dumb?"

"No! You are not dumb. Who said you were?" Her eyes narrowed in fury.

He flinched and muttered, "N-no one did." He tugged at his shirt.

"Who did?" Her voice was cold and angry.

"My teacher!" He frowned. "He called me dumb and useless! It hurt me…"

"You're not dumb. You're smart. Brilliant. Remember, you are a genius. You just don't work like other people. I promise you." She came over and hugged him. Just because he wasn't normal didn't mean he was dumb. He was literally a genius!

"If your teacher thinks you're dumb, then I'll take care of it. You're too great for them anyway." She patted his head. "I was going to surprise you later, but… you can take the exam. We have enough money." She smiled at him.

"You mean it?" He sniffled, looking super excited. She nodded, her smile growing wider. "I'll be a hero!"

"Yes, you will." Her smile faltered. Matt was too busy dancing around to notice the fear and pain on his sister's face.

The next day, Luciana walked her brother to UA. She had her special pass ready and went with him all the way to his classroom. They were the first people there.

"Ok, I need you to wait out here, can you do that for me?" She calmly asked her little brother.

"Yes. I'll stay here." He smiled at her and sat against the wall.

"Good." She turned and stepped lightly into his classroom. Inside was Matt's homeroom teacher, the pro hero Crimson Blade. A tall man with long red hair and green eyes, his quirk allowed him to manifest crimson blades, as his name implied. His hero suit was a tight red tank top, for showing off his muscles; red sweatpants, for mobility; and red combat boots, for durability.

"Ah, Duina-san. Is Matt having a bad day?" He asked.

"No. One of the teachers insulted him. He was torn up about it." Her demeanor chilled the room. "I'd like to have a word with them."

His easygoing smile vanished. "I'll take you to them. The other students won't be arriving for a while."

"I greatly appreciate this. Is it alright if Matt sits in here for now?" Her smile was back, but it was darker.

"That's fine." The pro hero smiled at the mention of his brightest student.

"Matt!" Luciana yelled. "You can come in here now." The door slammed open to reveal her bouncing little brother.

"Your sister and I need to go do something, can you clean the board for me while I'm gone?" Crimson Blade asked.

"Yes, Crimson-sensei!" Matt replied, slightly louder than needed, and rushed to clean the board. His grin was wide as ever. He loved helping people.

"Let's go." The young woman told the older man quietly. "All of his teachers will be here now." He nodded and they began walking to the teacher's lounge.

"Oh, by the way, Matt can take the test. We have enough money." She told him casually. "I picked up enough shifts to make enough."

"Really? Thank goodness for that."

"I know." She turned her brilliant smile on him. "I'm so glad."

Her smile changed as soon as they stepped into the teacher's lounge. It had become sickeningly sweet. Almost all of Matt's teachers were there.

"Where's Tungsten?" Her voice was just as sweet as her smile. Tungsten had been their hand-to-hand combat teacher.

"He left. For America. His replacement started just last week," Crimson replied. "He's always late, but don't worry, he's not a bad guy. I'll introduce you after."

"Ok." Her smile turned deadly. "Let's get to business."

All the teachers knew her, except for the new one. They all knew, don't mess with her brother. Luciana could take any of them down with words, fists, or quirks. Nobody wanted to cross her, especially after the tongue lashing she gave them with Crimson today.

"When will the new teacher be here, Crimson?" The woman was exhausted now that she had taken care of the problem.

"Soon." The man shrugged. They sat in silence for a long moment.

"How is Matt's quirk training coming along?"

"He's doing great. He's progressing rapidly, but steadily. He's top of the class in everything still." Matt's quirk was a physical enhancement, allowing him greater strength, flexibility, and agility. He was also a genius. The only drawback was that it was kind of like autism and prohibited his speech and social skills. "He works really hard to do this."

"I know," she yawned again.

"Are you getting enough sleep?" Crimson asked, just as the door opened. "Oh, it looks like he's here."

"Raven Wing!" She yelled and jumped up. "You're the new teacher?"

"Oh, Luciana," the hero scowled. "Shouldn't you be sleeping?"

"No. I'm here to meet you." She scowled back.

"Wait, you know each other?" Crimson jumped up, confused.

"Yes. She's the woman I've been rescuing every night recently."

"I don't need rescuing," she growled at him.

"She really doesn't," Crimson shivered.

"Wait… is she the one that beats teachers up?"

"Yes." The girl smirked. "Got a problem with it?"

"Not at all, some of them need it. What are you doing here?" The man asked, settling at his desk.

"I was scolding a teacher. He insulted my brother," her grin was deadly.

"Wait… You're the Lucy he chatters about?!" The man physically recoiled. "You're nothing like what he says."

"Just know, if you hurt him, in any way, you'll have to deal with me." With the promise aired, the woman stalked out.

"...Is she always like that?" The underground hero asked.

"Tired, yeah. Snarly about her brother, yes. Defensive, no." The regular hero replied. "She's always protective of her brother. And I don't think I've ever seen her well-rested."

"Do you know what her job is?"

"No idea, she never told me anything about herself," The redhead shrugged. "But hey, she likes you, so don't piss her off."

The ravenette looked at the other man strangely. The only reply was a shrug as he left to take care of his class.
